<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This has been discussed for a while now. I was beginning to wonder
whether it had been shelved like Wes Craven's <EM>Pulse</EM> remake. Robert De
Niro and Benicio Del Toro were mentioned in connection with it. Could be
interesting.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Like Hideyuki Hirayama's <EM>Turn</EM>, it's possible <EM>Chaos</EM>
could benefit from a reworking. Nakata's film, while interesting, could have
used some judicious 'tightening' of the plot. What do other people
think?</DIV>
